Click bate... 8 weeks left??? [Actually, Dad is sending this late so it's less than 7 weeks left]

Last time, on the soeur Isaacson show!

Tuesday: One of our amis who had a baptismal date had a huge fight with his girlfriend and left the house to give up on the lessons and go drink and smoke with his friends but he said the Lord led him instead to the church where he sat outside and called us. We went over there and saw him crying and i was like "oh no, we can't really comfort him or anything, what do we do???" and then soeur Kehl remembered that the elders just "happened" to be at our church building so we brought them over and they talked with our ami and gave him a blessing. He is amazing! He had a huge trial but he chose the Lord!!!! YAAAYYY!!!! Sorry for him but I was sooo happy he chose the right way!!!!

Wednesday: We helped a cute little mami in her garden and she gave us breadfruit

Thursday: Missionary leadership conference! Had my sistas and my bro there! Super powerful as always.

Friday:  Fasted with our ami (he asked if we could) and we ate at 6pm and then again at 7pm and took home a box full of food and I had a food baby.

Saturday: Pretty normal day, covered 2 areas cuz soeur Agustin was sick so we did split and all our and their lessons. Happy as always :) love the "live after the manner of happiness" section in come, follow me!!!!! Do it!!!

Sunday: Ward conference, they invited the community's mayor and peeps and then gave a time at the mayor's assistant person during sacrament meeting (not really allowed to do that but...) and it was interesting to be able to feel the difference in the Spirit during a member's talk and his message....

Aaaaand today we took soeur Agustin to the doctor to get a blood test and she didn't pass out wahoo!!!!!! Ballade roa.

Aaaaaaand I love the mission, it's just the best ever. Not at all easy, and sometimes boring and hard and all that but sooooooooooo 157% worth it!!!!!!!

I'm Home. Tahiti.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H.  Tahiti. That's it. I LOVE TAHITI SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!  IT'S LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES ON EARTH!!!! It's SO Pretty!!!!!! My zone is literally just a road that starts at the base and goes up into the mountain. My constant backdrop is GORGEOUS green mountains with a waterfall way off in the distance. We ride our bikes up and down with jungles and shacks and fruit trees all around and I'm just in awe.  It's just so pretty here and the food is awesome, the fish doesn't even taste like fish IT'S WAY BETTER and there are flowers everywhere. every tree has either fruit or flowers on it. It is INSANELY HOT THOUGH.  You kind of just always sweat. Also I have at least 125 mosquito bites on my legs. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE, PEOPLE. Mamis literally run over to me and freak out and touch my legs and tell me to put sugar on them and stuff haha. It's so cute and fu...

Iaorana!!!!!!!!  Can I just say I loooooooove Tahitian!!!!  Fave words:  haamahanahana (enlighten)  nehenehe (can/beautiful)  haamaruuru (to thank)  faaamu (to feed)  faahaamana'oraa (reminder)  it's so weird and hard but I LOVE IT! Absolutely beautiful and fun and genius! We taught Tahitian members and RMs (TRC) on the SECOND DAY of Tahitian and it was awesome! That would've freaked out my pre-mission self but now I was just excited to get thrown in the deep end right off the bat. We literally just read phrases off our paper (after kind of learning how to pray and the pronunciation of words) and said maitai (good) to everything. It really helped because I'm a lot less scared to teach my teachers and learn Tahitian in general.It's super backwards and like caveman talk but SO beautiful and really humbling and mind blowing. Love learning about other cultures and their ways.  I loved this Halloween! My mom sen...

Oh yeah I'm a missionary...

OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS!!! It's seriously just so much fun and so exciting. It's honestly not as hard or busy as I thought it would be (thank you all for your tips and advice). It's like EFY or college just with a spiritual typhoon. You have a full day, but we have down time and freedom to choose when we do things. The first week was awesome! I said my first prayer in French so WAHOO! Missionary life is seriously just normal life with the spirit helping you accomplish a specific purpose. The first two days I'd be walking with ma collegue (companion) and I'd see to elders with name tags and thing 'Wow look! Missionaries!...' then remember that we're all missionaries, including me. Haha good times... I love finally being here and wearing a name tag and learning the gospel en francais. I still feel like me though. Just regular old Shaustia wearing cute dresses and saying #worthit and ' je ne sais pas ' too many times to admit. So far Fren...
